NEWSMatt Damon: Oscars Can Be Wrong

When it comes to his view on the Oscars, Matt Damon treads a fine line in a new interview with Parade.com, saying he's not sure the Academy knows what they're doing.
"I think that the best way to judge movies is, like, 10 years after they're released. I think they should actually do the awards that way," he says.
